Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden is out for two to four weeks because of a foot injury. He hurt it in his first regular season NBA game. MRIs showed he has a mid-lateral foot sprain. He was injured in the first quarter of the Blazers 96-76 loss to the LA Lakers on Tuesday.

"I was trying to get a rebound, and kind of came down on Derek Fisher's foot on like, the third play of the game. I kind of fell and didn't think twice about it" he said after the game.

Oden missed four field goals and two free throws in 13 minutes of play. So he is still searching for his first NBA point. Oden was the top of the 2007 draft, but before his rookie season started, it was postponed by microfracture surgery on his right knee.
